Great news - looks superb - but, as others have asked, what are your initial driving impressions ?

Sorry for the slow response guys, a little preoccupied with both work and getting this car run-in.......I just typed a long response but reading it back sounded pants. Promise to try harder at the weekend and respond properly.

To me, the Mongrel is just about perfect. I'm happy, very happy....but deaf!......

Talk soon.

Sorry for the slow response guys; after collecting the car Tuesday sorted MOT and tax Wednesday, I've driven nearly 500 miles, running in service Friday....mad busy at work too, had to go to the office today and now off to football. I've carried a camera and GoPro around all week but (unlike me!) have hardly had a chance to use them.

Have been trying to sort everything in anticipation of a couple of proper days driving next week 8)

Car is awesome and all is good, a couple of niggles as you would expect with one pretty serious but nothing that can't be sorted.

Will try to post a proper response and a few photos tomorrow.

They are a team down south somewhere.
